BEAUTIFUL REUNION IN TWO

88. Two Foolish Men

Every afternoon before leaving office, Tristan once took the time to join his friends in the smooking area located near the parking lot.

While talking to fellow auditors, Tristan sipped Caramel Macchiato, a drink ordered online from a contemporary cafe, a cafe that offers various types of coffee.

Caramel Macchiato is one of his favorite drinks because it tastes right on the tongue, not too bitter and not too sweet. Made from a mixture of caramel, espresso and vanilla syrup.

In the smooking area there are also some female friends, even though they are non-smokers. Just join in to chat. One of them is Hakimah.

His eyes once glanced at Hakimah who was sitting at the opposite table enjoying green tea.

Hakimah has just entered the office after a wedding and honeymoon break.

Hakimah's face was radiant, emitting an aura of the newlyweds' happiness.

The judge looked very fresh and full of spirit. Laughs jokingly with friends.

It is only natural that if Hakim looks like that, the woman has just lived life as a newlywed. Just saw the beautiful.

Unlike her who has spent many years in the household, now her household is hit by chaos. The housewife after being hit by a storm was not shipwrecked. But it has lost its direction.

When observing the faces of his friends one by one, maybe his heart was envious and jealous. There was no big problem bias emanating from their faces. Was it only himself who had this kind of hardship?

Happiness cannot be imposed in a relationship. Although returning to live life with Nadia, it does not mean that she has passed the crisis. Because Nadia is now a different person. Maybe Nadia is with him now. But his wife was expecting and missing another man out there.

The options are only two, survive on a ship that has lost its steering wheel, or jump swimming to the edge in search of new hope.

But there is the Supreme Being, who governs the joys of human suffering. He should not say that life is unfair, because everyone has their own problems.

Just now he looked envious and jealous at the happy face of Hakimah, in an instant everything changed.

A distended woman like Nadia approached Hakimah, asking for time to speak. So that the two women separated, but not far away and can be seen from the smoking area.

Curiosity makes his eyes watch the interaction of the two women. At first it seemed that the conversation between the two was very serious. Not long after, there was a hysterical cry from the pregnant woman, which ended with Hakimah half-running while crying leaving the woman.

What the hell's going on?

Perhaps the hysterical cry of the woman could answer her curiosity.

"The shameless woman was married to my husband" the pregnant woman shouted with emotion as she pointed at the Judge who had run away from her.

The woman seemed to be deliberately raising the tone of voice, to tell them the information to be conveyed. The only goal is one, humiliating Judge.

Since that afternoon, two consecutive days of Judges have not appeared in the office. It just showed up on the third day. But the woman's face was already gray, not showing a happy twinkle anymore.

I can guess what happened to Judge. Of course if the thing that the woman is accusing is true, then the Judge is getting an extraordinary test.

When the office room became quiet because some employees were taking a break during the day, he approached Hakimah in his cubicle. The woman looked blankly at the laptop screen in front of her.

The judge nodded and smiled wistfully at him.

"Why are you?" ask her slowly to Hakimah.

The judge smiled bitterly, then bit his lips. As if holding something churning inside the chest.

"Sir Agus lied to me, Brother. He's not just lying to me, he's humiliating me to family and friends." One sentence ejected from the woman's mouth was immediately accompanied by a restrained sobbing.

"Lying how Imah?" Although he can guess, it feels like he wants to clarify the problem that is happening to Hakimah.

"Sir Agus, he was married before marrying me. But it's still single to me and my family. Even my own in-laws don't know if the child ever married another woman before me."

"The pregnant woman who came yesterday was his wife, sister. Married five months before me. They married in secret because their relationship was opposed by Kak Agus' family. All are recognized by Agus. Kak Agus married the woman forcibly because she was pregnant, and the woman threatened to ruin Kak Agus' career" Hakimah continued.

"I'm sick, Brother. I'm embarrassed," the woman groaned in a voice that began to rumble.

Hakimah, what a pity your fate is.

Sometimes he doesn't think. Many people are intelligent but so easily tricked or lied to by a partner.

One example is the woman in front of him right now. Judgement.

Also probably .. himself.

He and Hakimah who have been recognized to have an advantage in the level of intelligence, with a myriad of academic achievements and several awards received, turned out to be no more than two stupid humans. Humans are deceived by their respective partners.

The Judge just got married yesterday. In contrast to her being victimized and getting sympathy, Hakimah is placed in the situation as the guilty party for having become the third person.

"Well what are you going to do?" ask her in a low voice.

"I will wait for some time, if I am not pregnant, I will file a divorce lawsuit against Agus," Hakimah said in a soft voice.

"Was fast, huh? Have you thought carefully? Have you discussed it with your husband and your family? Do not rush to take such a step. Divorce is not necessarily the best solution. Moreover, you married because you like each other, right not betrothed?" Obviously he cannot be a marriage counselor, as he is living his current household life limping as well.

"Sister, the woman is almost giving birth. Soon she had a child who needed living expenses. While he has no job, it's not like I'm a sister who can afford my own life. In this case, I became the third person, even though I accidentally. I was in the wrong position. Therefore, I must give up."

"I can't be mad at that woman, sister, even though she humiliated me in this office. His actions were only a reaction to the problems that had befallen him. What is wrong here is Agus who has lied to both of us" continued Hakimah with teary eyes.

"I don't want to linger spending time with the wrong people, Brother. I have to move on with my life again" Hakimah said steadily though water still welled up in her eyes.

One word he gave to Judges. Sober. Yes, that woman is very wise. They also have high empathy. Being able to feel the emotional state of first wife Agustiawan, even though the woman had humiliated him in this office. Make Hakimah into a lip instantly.

Not only intelligent, wise and have high empathy. Very quickly Hakimah can take a decision and a bold step on the problems he faces. Unlike her, who was drifting away in a vortex of trouble. It was difficult to get out because it had been trapped in the vortex.

So it is very natural, if he increasingly admires the woman in front of him. Judgement.
